Default Brake Pads Worn Indicator and VAG COM

Hello. I have the "Brake Pads Worn" indicator showing up on my center console (the circle with the half-circles on the outside left and right edges of the circle) of my '03 S8. I am pretty sure the pads are OK because they were just replaced about 10k miles ago or so.

Any way I can use my VAG COM to diagnose the individual wheel(s) that is causing the indicator light? Obviously I'd like to narrow down the search from 4 possibilities to one before I get on the ground and get my hands dirty . . .

Thanks.

-Jeff

Default You only have a worn pad sensor on the front brakes

You can figure out which side it is by wiggling the wires and try and fix it, or you can jump it out all together.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/susp_whls_brake_steer/brakesensorshort.html">Here's the procedure and there is a link to the other one</a></li></ul>
